Concubine Mi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 39

In Chengqian Palace.

Imperial Concubine Tong Jiashi looked at herself in the vanity mirror and nodded in satisfaction.

"Pass it in."

"Yes."

Nanny Gui, who was standing beside her, responded, put down the comb in her hand, and hurried out.

At this time, it was already much later than usual, every time the emperor doted on someone, the empress would become more angry.

Fortunately, she is an old man who came to the palace from Tong's mansion. No matter how reluctant the empress is, she can still listen to what she said.

Otherwise, what kind of gossip will be spread if the empress is making such nonsense?
If it is passed on to the emperor's ears by someone with a heart, and he is accused of resenting the majesty, then the foundation accumulated by the ancestors of the Tong family for generations will be ruined in the hands of the empress.

As soon as she thought about it, she felt a chill all over her body.

She doesn't ask her mother to be favored, or even ask her to give birth to an emperor's heir. The only thing she asks now is that her mother should not be careless and affect the Tong family.

"Masters, the empress is already up, please go in with the old slaves." Nanny Gui raised the curtain and walked out of the hall, looked at the concubines standing in the courtyard and said respectfully.

When she saw Yuan Guiren standing beside her, Nanny Gui's eyes paused for a moment. Today Yuan Guiren was dressed in a light pink flag dress, looking extraordinarily elegant and outstanding.

Upon receiving Mammy Gui's gaze, Yuan Guiren showed an unnatural look on his face, and immediately avoided her gaze.

Seeing her like this, Nanny Gui immediately showed disdain in her eyes.

After all, it's something that can't be put on the table, even if the emperor spoils her, she can't make a big difference. Compared with the secret nobleman in Qixiang Palace, she is far behind.

She remembered that when Mr. Migui first came to visit his empress, although he looked cautious on the surface, he was calm and thoughtful on the inside.

And this one, who has been in the palace for so many years, is still so petty. I don't know how the emperor has taken a fancy to her, and let her sleep for several days in a row.

Everyone followed Nanny Gui and walked in one by one. After a while, there was a palace maid supporting the imperial concubine Tong Jiashi "Lately".Fortunately, with previous experience, everyone is no stranger to the attitude of the imperial concubine.

Tong Jia was dressed in a bright yellow flag dress, with a few bright and dazzling peonies embroidered on the hem and chest, which looked extraordinarily graceful and precious.

After she sat down, all the people bowed down in unison: "My concubine pays her respects to the imperial concubine and empress. Your empress is a thousand years old."

"Get up." The imperial concubine raised her hands, and her mannerisms all showed the dignity of the royal family. However, when her eyes passed Yuan Guiren standing in the corner, she suddenly felt a chill.

"Thank you, ma'am." After a while, the concubines and concubines were all seated in the main hall of Chengqian Palace.

The imperial concubine looked at Yuan Guiren with concern on her face, and asked in a warm voice: "I heard that you were unwell a few days ago, have you been feeling better these few days?"

Hearing the imperial concubine's words, Yuan Guiren's face was a little nervous, and he stood up hastily from his seat: "Miss Lao, I am worried. The imperial physicians in the imperial hospital are very skilled in medicine. The concubine will be much better after taking a few doses of medicine."

In fact, what the imperial concubine was referring to was not just that Yuan Gui was not in good health, but that Yuan Gui had a serious illness a few days ago, with a persistent high fever, but he was so humble that he couldn't invite an imperial doctor from the imperial hospital.Her personal maid knelt at the gate of Changchun Palace for two full hours before she persuaded Concubine Xiang to pass on an imperial physician to Yuan Guiren.

Although this matter was small, it spread throughout the harem that day, and when everyone secretly scolded Concubine Xiang for being vicious, they felt that Yuan Guiren was too easy to bully.If it weren't for her cowardice, even if she was the lord of the first palace, the concubine Xiang would not dare to abuse her like this.

The saying that people must humiliate themselves and others humiliate them is referring to people like Yuan Guiren who are not up to date.

However, to everyone's surprise, not long after that incident, Yuan Guiren unexpectedly won the favor of the emperor without knowing it.First, he was flopped, and then he was rewarded with something. That favor is getting better day by day.

When the imperial concubine said this, it was obvious that she wanted to humiliate Yuan Guiren with the events of that day, and also wanted to stimulate these people present with the matter of Yuan Guiren's favor.

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes were full of jealousy. Yuan Guiren has been in the palace for many years. The emperor didn't value her sooner or later, but he valued her at this time. I don't know what kind of seductive tricks she used. , Seduced the emperor.

"Yuan Guiren is really good at talking. Where is the medical skill of Tai Hospital? It is obvious that with the blessing of the emperor, no matter how serious the illness is, it will be cured at this moment." Cheng Concubine gave Yuan Guiren a meaningful look, her face was full of tears A clear expression.

"My lord, forgive me, it's all the concubine's fault." Although Yuan Guiren said this, his voice was calm, and his face was not as cautious as before.

Seeing this situation, everyone felt even more uncomfortable. No one in the palace knew what kind of temperament Yuan Guiren was before. To put it mildly, he was humble and polite, but to put it poorly, he was cowardly.

Otherwise, how could he be crushed by concubine Xiang to the point where he is not as respectable as his master?

But now, she has only been favored for a few days, and she dares to contradict her as a concubine like this. Such a sharp contrast between before and after is hard to avoid.

But relying on the emperor's favor, what is she?
Everyone was envious of Yuan Guiren's good fortune and jealous of her favor. In fact, what everyone wanted to know most was how could Yuan Guiren be favored by the emperor without anyone noticing it, after being silent in the harem for several years?
You know, although there are many new favorites of the emperor, it is rare to choose someone from among the old ones.Just like Mr. Migui, didn't he just bring it back when the emperor made his southern tour?
"I can't afford my sister's voice. This will reach the ears of the emperor. Those who don't know will think that this palace has done something to my sister. In fact, this palace is just telling the truth. The emperor is Son of Heaven, my sister is summoned by the emperor every day, so it is inevitable that she has some dragon aura on her body, so her body will naturally be better, sister, don't you think so?"

What Concubine Cheng hated the most was Yuan Guiren's tone of voice, who knows how to act, but acting too much is not good.What's more, now that she is favored by the emperor, if she still acts like this, it will make people feel hypocritical.

"Your Majesty's words are very true." Yuan Guiren's eyes flickered, and he said respectfully.

"My sister is usually generous, but why did she grab Yuan Guiren today? Those who didn't know thought that my sister came to Chengqian Palace because of jealousy." The corner of Xiangbi's mouth curled up, and she said with a light smile.

"You...?" Concubine Cheng was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect that Concubine Xiang, who used to be the favorite to spoil Yuan Guiren, would open her mouth at this time, she was so surprised that she couldn't say a word.

As Xiang Concubine opened her mouth, everyone's eyes fell on her.There was surprise in those eyes, but also ridicule.

Everyone thought that Concubine Xiang shamelessly joined Yuan Guiren because she saw that Yuan Guiren was favored by the emperor. They had long forgotten how she treated Yuan Guiren harshly in the past.

In fact, this really wronged concubine Xiang, concubine Xiang said this, but it was just to prevent Concubine De from sitting here.Otherwise, even if Yuan Guiren died, it would not be her business.

Although Yuan Guiren was from her Changchun Palace, the more favored she was, the more uneasy she felt.That feeling, as if the slave around him became his master as soon as he turned over, responding as he wanted.

"Stop arguing. It is her blessing that nobleman Yuan can be valued by the emperor. I hope that when you can be like nobleman Mi, you will continue to have an heir for the emperor." Wang Miheng, who was watching the play, was pulled into the battle.

Wang Miheng cursed secretly in his heart, still with a smile on his face: "What the empress said is that the most important thing in the harem is to prolong the heirs for the emperor. No matter who it is, as long as they can conceive the emperor's heir, the concubines will take care of them." The emperor is happy."

Wang Miheng spit out these official words smoothly without even thinking about it, and he said it without pain or itching, but it was strange to hear it in everyone's ears.

This secret nobleman, could it be that he has been stimulated by something? The new love and the old love, logically speaking, shouldn't be so tender, right?
The imperial concubine wanted to cause a conflict between the two, but when she said it, it was like hitting a ball of cotton, without any strength at all.She held the embroidered handkerchief tightly, with a dignified smile still on her face.

"In this way, I can worry less."

Yuan Guiren has been in the palace for a long time, but this is the first time she has tasted this kind of favor. In the past, everyone in this palace knew that she was a shadowy existence. It's not as good as a court lady with face.

But now, looking at everyone's envious or jealous eyes, she felt for the first time that she could still live like this wantonly.

It is said that hard-won things can disturb people's hearts the most, and she is like this now.

The more you get, the more you want, followed by endless anxiety and fear.

Although the emperor doted on her, it was just like a plaything, without any respect.

Yuan Guiren lowered her head, and she seemed to be able to see the bruises on her body through the bright clothes.

What happened these few nights, only she knew best.

The emperor has nothing but the purest desire for her, and there is not even a little pity and love in this desire.

She wanted to keep this desire, but she was afraid that she could only keep the emperor's desire.

If she could keep the emperor's heart, she wouldn't be so restless.
